Kratom has been a massive help with Willis-Ekbom disease
 

I'm writing to advocate for the availability of pure unadulterated kratom for important medical reasons.  I am a 71-year-old retiree with a serious case of Willis-Ekbom disease, also known as Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS).  This condition has no known cure and can become so overwhelming as to cause sufferers to become suicidal.  Kratom was a godsend in helping to mitigate my RLS symptoms, and it allowed me to stop using oxycodone for the same condition.  Please allow citizens access to this very helpful and important plant.  

Thank you.
